long time lurker, very rarely a poster. please don't hold that against me. I am adding an address that is only used for 1 other person, so if I get spammed I will know where it came from iamprecious2000@yahoo.com I will miss you. I understand poor Spike's predicament and if I can come up with $15, will join. Money is extremely tight now, though, so it may not happen. I feel like I know you all personally and, in case I don't hear from you again, may you be blessed. Bye to all. Julie

Have you made any progress?

Maybe, Open TB. In the Account Bar in the left pane right click on the target account, i.e. shaddy@yahoo.xxx. Select Settings. In the right pane of the appearing window is a signature text box. Google produced this expanded information using keywords "thunderbird signature" (sans quotes). Here is a link that might be useful: Mozilla This post was edited by damccoy on Fri, May 31, 13 at 19:33

Any decent mail program should be able to use any email address. Are you double-clicking on an email to open it? If yes, don't. It should open with one click & then it won't open a new tab. If it is opening a new tab with one click, then something is configured wrong. If you google, there are ways to disable tabs in TB but you might find that the end result is even more troublesome.
